GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE
l
The manufacturer will
accept no responsibility
for any damage due to
installation or operation
not conforming to these
instructionsi
l
Cooker hood is de-
signed to remove cook-
ing odours. Do not use
cooker hood for other
purposes.
l
Connect the cooker
hood operating in ex-
traction mode to a suit-
able ventilation duct
(do NOT connect the
cooker to smoke or flue
gas ducts, which are in
use). It requires installa-
tion of the air extraction
duct to the outside. The
duct length (typically
120 or 150mm in diam-
eter) should not exceed
4-5 m. The air exhaust
duct is also required for
telescopic and under
furniture cooker hoods
operating in air recircu-
lation mode.
l
Cooker hood operating
in air recirculation mode
requires the installation
of an activated char-
coal filter. In this case,
installing an extractor
duct is not required,
however it is recom-
mended to install an air
guide vane. (chimney
cooker hoods only).
l
The cooker hood fea-
tures independent light-
ing and exhaust fan
that can be operated at
one of several speeds.
l
Depending on the type,
the hood is designed
to be permanently at-
tached to a vertical wall
over a gas or electric
stove (chimney and
universal hoods); on
the ceiling over a gas
or electric stove (island
hoods); on the vertical
built in furniture over
a gas or electric stove
(telescopic and built-in
hoods). Before install-
ing, make sure that the
wall/ceiling structure is
strong enough to sus-
pend the hood. Some
hoods are very heavy.
l
For details of the instal-
lation distance above
an electric hob please
refer to product techni-
cal sheet. If the instal-
lation instructions of
the gas cooker specify
a greater distance, this
must be taken into ac-
count (Fig. 1a).
l
Do not leave an open
flame under the hood.
When the pots are re-
moved from the burner,
set the minimum flame.
Always make sure that
the flame does not ex
